HANDICRAFT SHOP 
rsa Home Industries of Blind 
Men. Has Agency for Candy 
Kitchen Candies 
This week the window of the 
Handicraft Shop for the Blind, 9 
Bridge St., Manchester, is filled with 
‘roses, made of paper to be sure, but 
roses of real charm. They are the 
handiwork of a newly blind Japa- 
nese, who was an artist before he 
lost his sight, and they represent the 
first piece of work he has had con- 
fidence to do by touch. They are 
suitable for decorations, for bazaars 
and fetes—yellow and white and rose 
and pink. 
The cabinet-work of another  in- 
teresting blind man and basketry of 
‘three men, excellent basket-makers, 
is also. shown. The cabinet-maker, 
Mr. Robertson, of Lynn, is a man 
who was a skilled workman before 
he lost his sight ten years ago and 
he greatly enjoys making new ven- 
tures in cabinet-work by touch. One 
very simple little article made by 
‘ him this season is window wedges, 
in mahogany and white enamel. A 
convenient footstool with a woven 
cane-top and folding legs is new this 
geason. A more important piece of 
—. 
work successfully carried out by Mr. 
Robertson during the winter was a 
so-called ‘‘Thousand-legged’’ table 
which he was asked to eopy for a 
special order. 
Miss Knowlton, of Manchester, a 
graduate of Perkins School for the 
Blind, who has demonstrated hand- 
weaving at the Handicraft Shop for 
several summers past, 1s here again 
this year and has the agency for 
sales and orders of the Candy Kit- 
ehen Candies of the Women’s Edu- 
cational and Industrial Union. 
Miss Florence Cummings, of Bos- 
ton, is in charge of the shop. 
A new banner, in black and yellow 
and white, showing the bee, which is 
the trademark of the home-work in- 
dustries of the blind in Massachu- 
setts, waves an invitation to automo- 
bilists to stop and see the work which 
is not only desirable in itself, but is 
also the only means of keeping the 
hands of many of our blind citizens 
from idleness. 
Work done at your residence if de- 
sired, anywhere from Manchester to 
Pride’s. Children’s hair cutting a 
specialty. J. Vasconcellos, barber,
